Well, she knew she wouldn't be quite normal after becoming her superhero neighbor's sidekick. School's starting back up, but things are not back to normal for Katie.
The internet either ruined my name or made it SO MUCH COOLER. So I started to go by Colleen AF.mostly because I was bad at typing periods. My birth name was Colleen Ann Venable, but in 1994 I asked to change my middle name to Felicity, because that's the sort of thing you do when you are 14. Pssst My name is actually spelled Colleen AF Venable. I love graphic novels more than I love having feet and I really do love having feet. I went to Wagner College and double majored in English and Studio Art, winning the award of “biggest dork” (aka first in my class) Why have an imaginary friend when you can have an imaginary friend that can fit in your pocket! I had an older sister, a dog, a cat, a million fish, and an imaginary pet hamster named, yup you guessed it, Hamisher. I grew up in the trees of Walden, New York….well, not very high up the trees, since I always got scared, but I did carve my name in a lot of low hanging boughs. My graphic novel series Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye (illustrated by Stephanie Yue) was nominated for an Eisner for Best Publication for Kids and awarded “Best Book” recognition from Kirkus Reviews, NYPL, Bank Street, and the Junior Library Guild. My debut YA graphic novel Kiss Number 8 was a National Book Award Longlist title, an Eisner nominee, and a Prism award finalist. When I was 18, I broke a national coed jump-rope record. I once sang back-up on an album nominated for the Polka Grammy. (See National Pancake Day or Lumberjack Day, every Sept 26) I accidentally started an international holiday. You might know me from such films as "Colleen's Fourth Birthday Party" and "Colleen Falls Down Over and Over Again While Ice Skating."
